Ok, I'm thinking it's about time i got myself a decent sleeping bag, currently i use 2 or 3 cheappy Halfords sleeping bag (you know the ones you get in the tent packs) and for the most part it's nice and warm but for me it's not practical.
We tend to go camping about 3 times a year (April, July, October) with the final camp being with the cub pack I'm with.
What I'm after, or rather the boxes i'd like the bag to tick:
- Mummy Style (I don't like non-mummy bags, I find it gets breezy otherwise
- Fully unzippable (like non-mummy bags so if i ever went to the dangly side i.e hammocks, i have the option to unzip it
- Central zip (mainly for the possibility of above)
- Lightweight (I aim to be able to hike with it so the lighter the better, obviously as small as possible but i think i can get round that with compression bags)
- Waterproof - not essential as liners/outers can be used but always nice if it is waterproof as is.
Not entirely sure how many season i need but i would probably look at a 3/4, don't think a 4 would be needed but i'm open to suggestions.
Budgetwise I'd probably look at around £60 mark, probably expecting too much but hey ho i'm open the wisdom of the masses
If at all possible, I wouldn't mind knowing if the given suggestions are avaliable in retail stores too, just so i can get hands on with it before buying it. :sun:
